Mountain Meadows, Historic site in Washington County, Utah.
Mountain Meadows stretches across rolling hills and grasslands, featuring natural springs and varied elevations reaching 5,869 feet above sea level.
The location became a National Historic Landmark following the events of September 1857, when over 120 members of the Baker-Fancher wagon train perished.
The site contains memorial monuments and educational resources that document the complex relationships between settlers, Native Americans, and religious groups in territorial Utah.
Visitors can access the memorial grounds throughout the year and learn about the historical events through informational plaques and guided interpretive programs.
The meadow landscape changed substantially since the 1800s due to erosion and lower water tables, transforming from extensive grazing lands into current terrain.
